'Tesla Model 3 Highland aero tweaking'
 

Tesla is refreshing the Model 3, and photos reveal some aero enhancements that Franz Von Holzhausen and associates have performed, especially stretching the roofline rearwards ( one of Hoerner's aero tricks ) to finesse the pressure gradient which has relied so much on the rear spoiler.

I wish they'd get rid of the glass roof and make a proper hatch. The car could be way more utilitarian then.

Hopefully the reduced cost will push down the cost of used Teslas.

Sadly, I'm still probably looking at a minivan for my next vehicle.

i love how tesla makes the market more competitive when it comes to aerodynamics

wonder why they are getting rid of the air curtains?

Link did nothing for me. IIRC privacy pop-up. But it sounds like the new New Beetle, when they abandoned the concept's short roof for a more fastback line.

New headlights, maybe that's the air curtain source. Three new cameras, no outside temp. I suspect the big thing is the diecast front and rear sections.

The new model from Mexico will be less than $25K. That will reallly put the squeeze on Arcimoto.

The squeeze has always been on Arci, which was my initial criticism.

'air curtains'
 

One image of the black Model 3's front fascia is so dark that I cannot discern whether or not the outboard inlets are there or not.

Energy efficiency is 8% better (12% mentioned somewhere)
new drag coefficient 0,219
was 0,225
Thats only ~2,6% better.

So most of improvements comes from tires and rolling resistance.

See. No more air curtains

Else they are integrated into that central scoop (that reminds me of the Studebaker Avanti).
